Chapter 53: Snippet from the final battle
Lucius pointed his wand at her, screaming the Cruciatus curse.
The pain roared through her. Her battered body arched up off the floor. The strength of his rage and hate burned. White static started in her brain and spread. It was the white, empty place she went to when she killed. It felt like falling.
Her ears popped and she blinked. When she opened her eyes, she saw thousands of women standing before her. [DESCRIBE GODDESSES IN SNATCHES].
“You have denied us.” They all spoke at once though it was primarily the voice of the tall, brunette woman standing in front of her.
“I haven’t.” Hermione answered. “We’ve destroyed the horacruxes because of you. We’ve made it this far because of the power that you have given us.”
“Who do you think we are, Hermione?” The women asked. “We are the raw power of the earth taken shape in the belief of human beings. We are life. We called you and you came but still you deny your power, you deny us.”
“I don’t understand.”
“We know.”
“I don’t know what to do.”
“We know.”
“I am afraid.”
“Yes.”
“What do I do?”
“Let go.”
Hermione closed her eyes and opened her arms to the empty, white space crackling around her. Chilly hands swept over her.

Hermione opened her eyes and looked at Lucius. His face was frozen in a rictus of supreme satisfaction. She reached out for Harry and Severus, blew the barriers between them open. They flowed into each other and this time, there was no pain. She embraced them, knew them from their first breath to this moment. She knew that Bellatrix had slammed a knife deep into Severus’ leg and chest. He was dying. She knew that Harry was at the end of his power and Voldemort was winning. As she knew them, so they knew her.
She lifted her bloody hand, palm facing Lucius. She could see him. The dead pale skin, the dark hair with its blistered blond ends. She could see the twisted energy that fueled his existence. It was the color of a bruise.
“You should not exist.”
Lucius opened his mouth to speak and stopped, as if choking. She reached out with the power the flowed in every living thing around her, reached out and coated Lucius in it. He looked shocked and batted at his arms and legs, trying to stop it. The power twisted and thrummed, trying to shove past the barrier. Hermione didn’t move. Lucius’ body began to crumble, rotting before her eyes. It broke apart and his soul popped free. She could see it. She turned her head, like a bird, staring at it. He stared back and then misted away and she felt him, felt him return to the pool of energy that fueled the turning of the world, the galaxy. Felt a tiny grain of rightness return.
